Earthquake!

At 9:10 on Saturday morning a magnitude 5.8 earthquake shook the Kenai Peninsula and the city of Anchorage. How strong is a magnitude 5.8 quake, you ask? Scientifically speaking, its strong enough to wake up 50% of Anchorigians sleeping in a basement apartment downtown, but thats just nerd-talk.

Here's the details: USGS earthquake summary

P.S. For clarification, Beth was the one who actually felt it, while I slept like a baby.
